Don’t you just love it when you see characters that haven’t been in their own videogame for years show up in some kind of a party game?
Anyway, here’s a new trailer and gallery full of images for Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing. A bunch of Sonic characters and some underused Sega characters are thrown in together and have to race against each other Mario Kart style. Neat-o.
Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing will be in February 2010 on the PS3, Xbox 360, Wii and DS. Anyone looking forward to it?
Hamza Aziz, Destructoid's Community Director, has been here since day one. He was born when a tiger coughed up a hairball into a pool of ooze. He was one of the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles before budget cuts. Hamza works as a previews editor and manages a team in San Francisco. To date he has given away tens of thousands of dollars in prizes to readers. What a dick. Actually, Hamza is as kind as he is hairy.

Yeah Sega have always known how to make an awesome intro movie!
But I'm with CTZ on that last statement - I'd trade everything that's had Sonic's face in it from the last 5 years for a current-gen Jet Set Radio game.
"Don’t you just love it when you see characters that haven’t been in their own videogame for years show up in some kind of a party game?"
Uh... No. Sega, cut this shit out and work on a new JSR game. JSR on the xbox was amazing. Why not continue the awesomeness that was that game by making some MORE awesomeness? Ehh? Ehhhhh?
Never mind Jet Set Radio, I'm more for seeing another Panzer Dragoon myself.
Seems like it'll be alright, most of the people will no doubt pick Sonic or one of the other popular characters. I'll beat them all with Amigo if I have to.
looks like it will be fun for the wii crowd and too "kiddie for the ther 2 consoles- will suck on the ds would have been fun on the psp
also I am one who would love another jet set radio- one of those games that I have been wondering as well why not to the psp since skate park city is so similar in gameplay- it wouldn't be so hard to actually make a jet grind/jet set game
I'd kill for a Jet Set Radio game. I missed the one on the original Xbox, and I didn't see it on the list of bakwards-compatible games. =( I just remember watching X-play's review of it as a tween and just thinking..."WHOA".
this is heresy. you should be ashamed of yourself, sega, you were a great company 10 years ago. now all you can do is pilfer around in the graveyard, digging up the corpses of our beloved characters and having their skeletons dance around ?
I would (murder ?) 5 sega employees to see Smilebit reform and make a new jet set radio game.
@ YaMissed2 - SERIOUSLY!? *checks list* Ah, I see the error in my ways...I must've ctrl+f searched for Jet Grind Radio instead. Wow. Heading over to Amazon/eBay in 3...2...1...

also I am one who would love another jet set radio- one of those games that I have been wondering as well why not to the psp since skate park city is so similar in gameplay- it wouldn't be so hard to actually make a jet grind/jet set game
also, this will likely big a big warm pile of poop, but i'll likely give it a rent or something anyway as i'm a sucker for cartoony racing games.
